  • the installation comprises a plurality of pairs of at least one device suitable for exerting mechanical stresses and of at least one sorting device which are arranged in series from upstream in the downstream direction.
  • a device suitable for exerting mechanical stresses is a beater, a crusher or a pounder.
  • a sorting device operates by granulometric, densimetric, pneumatic or calorimetric sorting or according to the actual shape of the sorted fractions.
  • the invention relates to a process for the treatment of vegetables, specially designed for the treatment of aromatic herbs or plants, comprising the successive steps involving:
  • the implementation of the invention affords many advantages: first of all, it makes it possible to overcome the abovementioned problems or limits encountered in the known state of the art. Moreover, the vegetables are not damaged, bruised, squashed or soiled. Losses are reduced to a minimum. The cost price is improved. As regards vegetables having stalks and leaves, only the latter, which are consumable, are packaged, the stalks being rejected. It is also possible to make mixtures of a plurality of homogeneous vegetables without defrosting. The invention can also be put into practice outside the harvesting season.
  • the invention is concerned with the cold mechanical comminution of vegetables.
  • the steps of the process can be included or not in the installation line considered in detail here as a possible embodiment.
  • FIG. 1 is a block schematic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of both a process and apparatus of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a continuation of FIG. 1 along the stream direction of the process.
  • the invention relates to the preparation of frozen vegetables and more particularly of vegetables intended for human consumption, such as aromatic herbs or plants or the like.
  • the invention can typically be employed, for example, when only the leaves of the plant in question are to be frozen, whereas its unwanted stalks have to be eliminated.
  • the continuous preparation line extends between an upstream entrance 1, which is a feed of fresh vegetables in bulk, and a downstream exit 2, where the prepared and frozen vegetables are packaged, ready to be stored or dispatched or consumed.
  • the line also has a feed 3 of empty packs.
  • the feed 1 can comprise a plurality of separate assemblies 1a, 1b, 1c allowing a greater operating flexibility.
  • Each of its assemblies can comprise a handling appliance 4, a conveyor belt 5, a feed wheel 6 and fans 7 placed under the belt 5 which is therefore perforated.

  • This washing device 10 executes the step in which the fresh vegetables are washed.
  • a take-up conveyor belt 12 which drives the vegetables towards a device 13 for the coarse fractionation of the washed vegetables.
  • This device 13 is intended to prevent the subsequently treated vegetables from taking the form of agglomerated compact blocks. This device 13 therefore carries out the fractionation of such possible bulky blocks into smaller pieces.
  • the coarse fractionation device 13 is placed just downstream of the washing device 10 and just upstream of the drying device 14.
  • the vegetables are dried, before being fractionated, the devices being arranged in the following order from upstream in the downstream direction: 10, 14, 13.
  • drying or the fractionation is carried out in a plurality of successive steps. These steps can overlap in terms of the drying and fractionation, for example in the form of a plurality of pairs, each comprising a drying (or fractionation) step and a fractionation (or drying) step.
